The Edusei Foundation founded by Dr. Kwame Bawuah-Edusei and his family have made several donations to various orphanages and have organized youth workshops in various regions of Ghana, USA and the Diaspora. To cap it all the Foundation has made major donations to the Ghana Black Stars and the Catholic relief Charities as part of their efforts to broaden their horizon in supporting Ghanaian initiatives and embracing youth activities.
The Foundation was started in 2012 and built the basic groundwork with the main goal of seeking youth development and empowering women and children, facilitating college counseling, life survival skills in order to positively enrich their lives.
Recently the Foundation made a donation to the Catholic Relief Charities in Ghana and signed a memorandum of understanding to support youth activities in the five poorest regions (Upper East, Upper West , Northern, Central and Brong Ahafo Regions) in Ghana .The foundation provided a seed money of 50.000 Ghana Cedis. The donation was received by Rev. Father Afriyie, the General Secretary of the Ghana Catholic Charities fund on May 2, 2014.
The Youth workshops that have been organized by the foundation have successfully rekindled the youth spirit in the United States and it would afford the youth better opportunities than earlier generations.
On June 6th, 2014 Dr. Edusei and his family visited the Black Stars at their Miami, Florida base and made a donation of twenty five thousand US Dollars to the Ghana Black. The Foundation also provided the latest ICT equipment including IPADS worth thousands of US dollars to upgrade the technical team to be at par with the best in the world.
Edusei Foundation was founded for Youth development and the Black Star Players, who are all youthful; have conducted themselves well to be role models for the youth. The Edusei Foundation therefore hopes these donations will encourage the Black Stars to achieve higher goals and continue to be inspirational to the youth.
Addressing the Black Star players at the presentation in the famous Regis Hotel in Miami, Dr. Bawuah-Edusei, who is a medical doctor, guided the team to not only prepare physically but to enhance their power of positive thinking as the mind is the most powerful tool of the body. He and his family expressed their deep appreciation to the whole Black Star Team for all the sacrifices they have made.
The occasion was graced by the entire Black Star Team and their technical staff: including Coach. Mr. Kwasi Appiah, Ghana Football Association President Mr.Kwesi Nyantakyi and family members and friends of the Edusei’ family from all over the U.S.A.
Asamoah Gyan ,the Captain of the National team on behalf of the players expressed his profound appreciation to Dr. Edusei and recalled a similar gesture in 2006 when he visited the Black Stars camp in Switzerland ahead of the 2006 World Cup and made donations and gave them kind words of encouragement and went a long way to ensure their success in the tournament.
The Coach Kwasi Appiah on his part thanked the Edusei Foundation for the gesture and mentioned that this donation from an individual confirms the love, support and confidence Ghanaians have in the Black Stars.
Dr. Edusei's track record of philanthropy will be continued for youth development and empowerment of women and children. Whilst Dr. Bawuah- Edusei espouses positive thinking he has led an exemplary life and despite all the challenges he has kept his integrity intact and continued the family tradition of philanthropy which he started even before he became Ghana's Ambassador to Switzerland and later the United States of America.
Dr. Barwuah-Edusei wishes to thank God, family, friends and all those who have supported him over the years with full assurance that he is the same person, legal with uncompromising integrity, fiercely independent, and that his endeavors have been by his own initiative. He intends to continue these noble qualities unabated as a private citizen for the rest of his life and again thank God for his blessings.Source: Afrikan Post« Previous | Next »View Comments
